Iran was "contained" under Obama's deal with them....that Trump tore up....and when he was in the middle of negotiating a new one he attacked Iran who were in good faith negotiations. The rogue nation here is the US.

Isn't the person you're replying to suggesting people can update the firmware to the trusted version via a website? So it doesn't matter if you get one from 'the next batch' - provided you're on top of updating

And yet millions of people starve, are tortured and are worked to death in the name of Capitalism. How many die or are made destitute due to lack of affordable healthcare in the US alone? Not to mention the trillions of dollars (and lives)

Yeah, in my experience it's typically used by people who can't counter your argument and people who seem likely to be fooled by actual bots. They're the same people, as it happens.

Where's the proof Roaring Kitty is a pump and dump scammer? He made the connections, concocted the thesis and is now taking it to its natural conclusion. He wields enough power in his position that he doesn't need anyone to bring

He hasn't done anything illegal. He posts his positions after the market closes and he's talked about his thesis for years now. We're all just getting front row seats to the show.

How is it a pump and dump? He doesn't need anyone to do anything. He has the position and the funds to make the play himself.

Traveller and expat here - "free world" is absolutely correct. Even its allies aren't free of government interference from the US.

Lions don't attack every animal that sets foot on their turf. The release of "Collateral Murder" damaged public opinion of the US invasion of Iraq and US foreign policy in general. If journalists embarrass the US government b

For Australians: Right-wing, Sky News talking head, Rita Panahi, was born in Pine Bluff, AK, according to its wikipedia page. Sure would explain her hatred of the poor.

Those few days where Facebook blocked news org posts was absolute bliss. The platform is better without them.

Perhaps the term "wired differently" wasn't so far off the mark after all?

Trade unions were involved in the push for the ban. So, rather than cynical motives, it might actually just be regular old "the health and safety of workers" behind it.

There's a substantial amount of lobbying, but the reporting requirements on it are laughably low. Agree it's not at the level of the US, though. The member for Kooyong was working to establish a bill about it. At the moment lobbyi

Your analogy is a bit off. Companies have responsibilities to keep customer data safe - Medibank wouldn't be fined if so someone broke into their offices and stole all the toilet paper.

Nice feelings you have there. Why can't we legalise sex work and cut a lot of pimps out of the equation? Maintain a "ban" on street walking, but allow brothels and escorting. What is prostitution anyway? A coal miner sells hi

Oh weird. Having read the book, I agree it's a tough read. But would it have been the same if prostitution was legalised (or at least decriminalised) and regulated? I doubt it very much. Sex work can be made far safer. A holier than th

Given the largest English speaking population on the internet is Americans, I'm going to have to assume that the ridiculously puritanical opinions on sex work and drug use in the comments are from Americans.
